Summary of Rick McIntyre's The Reign of Wolf 21

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I had worked for the Wolf Project in Yellowstone in the spring of 1998, and had transferred to a summer job with the Druid pack in January 2000. I had grown up in New England, and was used to harsh winters. But in January 2000, I experienced what winter weather is like in Yellowstone. #2 I observed the lowest-ranking Druid female, 106, digging into deep snow to catch a vole.
She then pounced on a nearby spot and tried to pin down a vole with her front paw. She missed, so she dug at that site, then stuck her head into the excavation. #3 In February, one of the Druids' lower-ranking females, 105, went to 21. He sniffed her rear end, then walked off, apparently uninterested. Soon after that, 42 approached him, wagged her tail, then moved it aside, exposing her rear end.
Called tail aversion, it is a signal that the female is getting ready to breed. #4 The Druid pack got back to normal life in late February, with 21 enjoying his sons' company. I had never seen 40 act playfully with lower-ranking pack members before, but she did not fear them because they were all males.
